Hurghada Grand Aquarium
الأكواريوم الكبير بالغردقة
One of the largest aquariums in Africa. An underwater tunnel displays Red Sea sharks, rays, and coral, plus a small zoo.
The Hurghada Grand Aquarium is located in a resort area in the south of the city. It displays marine life from the Red Sea and around the world, including sharks, rays, sea turtles, and colorful reef fish. Highlights include a long underwater tunnel and feeding shows. There is also a tropical rainforest area and a small zoo. It is a good option for families who do not want to go into the water, and an alternative plan on rainy days or when strong winds keep boats in port. A visit takes about two hours. Tickets are priced higher for foreigners and are sold separately, so check the official price. You can buy tickets through your hotel or online.
